Well?
Didja wow 'em, huh?
He weathered a firestorm of agony and did not break.

His loss is great, but so is the gift his suffering brought.

Whoa Flyp just noticed this topic… I’m bliiiiiiind!
Oh. Wait. Just deef.
Anyway, the Humpty Dance went very well. I practiced the song for about three weeks, listening on my car stereo mostly, then with the lyrics that I found with the help of Dopers like yourself. I made up some signs with a few of the words; the plan was to hold them up at different times in the song: Humpty, “umpty”, Stoopid, Looptid, etc.
At 1:00 AM on January 1, 2000, I had my one sober friend hit the music for me and I came down with a microphone, wearing my husband’s 3/4 length black leather jacket, a huge afro, and Groucho Marx glasses with penis nose attached.
Yeah, I left out the penis nose part before. I was very nervous; all I needed was one negative remark and I would have chickened out.
I got through the first section, the chorus, and the second section fine. Everyone was dying with laughter, including El Hubbo. I totally forgot about my little signs. Oh well. Then I got to the tough part and just lost the lyrics altogether.
Everyone said it was great, I got the reaction I wanted so I was happy. The 'fro got passed around the house and the penis nose and Groucho glasses ended up taped to the wall outside a neighbor’s house… Haven’t heard what his reaction was, yet.
Yo, stop whatcha doin’, 'cause I’m about to ruin, the image and the style that ya used to…
It was a wonderful party. Happy New Year Everyone!
I didn’t know anything about this! (I miss everything, evidently.)
Since that song has now taken residence in my brain, I don’t suppose anyone has a downloadable copy that they’d be inclined to send to me?
“Wednesday the 15th - Chris made one of her rare good points today.”

Jus’ so’s ya know, I don’t have a downloadable Humpty Hump, Chris. Sowwy.
Oh, I forgot one thing. We had twelve people at our house for my performance, I am the sole female rap fan of those twelve, and there’s only one guy who likes rap. It’s not my husband. He merely tolerates it.
Luckily, everyone else had at least heard the song.
I look funny, but yo I’m makin’ money, see, so yo world I hope you’re ready for me…

Can’t,
I have to admit, when I saw your first thread about this, I laughed so hard out loud at the image it conjured up! I did’nt say a word, though- thinking it might discourage you. But of all the songs in the whole wide world, WHY the “Humpty Dance”?? Just because it’s funny?
The whole thing strikes me just so damned funny. I wish I had been there

Love is like popsicles…you get too much you get too high.
Not enough and you’re gonna die…

Yeah, because it’s funny!
Who could ever rap that in a serious way?
You crack me up, Zette.
I’ve alway thought you’ve rocked. Canthearya.
Now it’s confirmed.
So, what’s for the encore? Freaks Of The Industry? Or Dowhatchalike?
I’ll say words that don’t mean nuthin’, like looptid…
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
*I sang on “Doowatchyalike”, and if ya missed it, I’m the one that said, “Just grab 'em in tha biscuits…”
Sorry. An itch I had to scratch.
